Cer. 208), pl. <b class="b3">ἄλφιτα</b> (Il.), from which the sg. <b class="b3">ἄλφιτον</b>, in Hom. only in <b class="b3">ἀλφίτου ἀκτή</b>.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [29] <b class="b2">*h₂elbʰi</b><br />Etymology: One assumes a plural <b class="b3">*ἄλφατα</b> from an <b class="b2">i-n-</b>stem as in Skt. <b class="b2">ásth-i</b>, <b class="b2">asth-n-ás</b> [[bone]], on the basis of <b class="b3">ἀλίφατα ἄλφιτα η ἄλευρα</b> H. But <b class="b2">i\/n-</b>stems are doubtful, and <b class="b3">ἀλίφατα</b> has been read as <b class="b3">*ἀληφατα</b> (Latte; cf. DELG, who compares <b class="b3">ἀλήφατον ἄνθος ἐλαίης</b> Peek, Grab-Epigramme 1897; the form would have been derived from <b class="b3">ἀλέω</b>.) - <b class="b3">ἄλφι</b> can be identical with Alb. [[elb]], <b class="b2">-i</b> [[barley]] (from. <b class="b2">*albhi</b>), s. Demiraj. Further origin uncertain; perhaps PIE <b class="b2">*h₂(e)lbh-i</b>. <b class="b2">-</b> Here also Turc. [[arpa]] [[barley]], perhaps from an Iran. <b class="b2">*arbi</b>, Vasmer Stud. alb. Wortforsch. I, 1921, 16ff. - <b class="b3">ἄλφι</b> is mostly connected with <b class="b3">ἀλφός</b> (cf. <b class="b3">λεύκ</b>' <b class="b3">ἄλφιτα Σ</b> 560); "wenig wahrscheinlich", Demiraj. S.
